OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RLL (RAPID LIGHT LOOP) Part number 10900462 and 10900463 INSTALLATION: The RLL unit, when received, should be checked for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, contact the carrier that handled the shipment first and then Rapid-Air to report the damage. The RLL unit is shipped pretested, set to a working height of 30”, and set for payout operation.
The interface board contains a Payout/Rewind switch and user adjustable Max. output and Jog speed potentiometers. Refer to the adjustments section prior to changing these setpoints. The RLL is factory set for (Payout) mode and will send a 6 VDC output to the controlled unit when the material is at the top of the loop. All loop control functions are fixed and never need adjustment. See the adjustment section prior to selecting the Rewind mode. There is one user replaceable fuse.
CAUTION: Keep clear of rotating hardware during thread up. Turn power off of take up reel during thread up or place take up reel in the JOG mode. Make certain material is taut and above RLL upper beam prior to power up. Set the Payout/Rewind switch to Rewind on the Control Pwb of the RLL. This will automatically switch light beam operation to give full speed at the bottom of the loop and the motor to be full off if the top light beam is interrupted by material.
